This bug will be fixed in V4a8. It should of course have read
         my($allowdeny, $regexp, $logtext, $usertext)

I'm also shortly going to be giving the RPMs of V4 to a few selected people
for testing. If you want to be included in the test, then please drop me a
line with "RPM testing" in the subject line. Please only ask if you are
happy playing with RPM, know how it all works, how to force RPM into doing
things it doesn't want to, and are generally happy if the RPM
install/uninstall scripts don't quite work properly. If my test RPMs break
your system, don't come running to me for help :-)
